Trains & Rail by the numbers
Challenges & fixes
Signal drops constantly as the train moves through tunnels and rural stretches
Unlike a fixed venue, a train's connectivity has to handle constantly changing signal conditions — tunnels, rural gaps, and handoffs between cell towers all break a connection that isn't built for motion.
- ✓Cellular routers with failover backhaul keep connectivity through dead zones
- ✓Satellite & Rural Backhaul covers the most remote stretches of track
- ✓OpenX Cloud fleet monitoring flags weak segments across routes
Each carriage and route historically gets managed separately
Different train sets, routes, and even carriages within the same train often run inconsistent WiFi setups, making it hard for an operator to guarantee a consistent passenger experience system-wide.
- ✓OpenX Cloud manages the whole fleet from one console
- ✓Zero-Touch Provisioning standardizes new rolling stock deployment
- ✓Multi-Tenant / White-Label Controller separates routes or operating regions
Our solutions
OpenX Cloud is an open wireless cloud controller for Enterprise, SMB, and MDU deployments, built on an open technology stack (OpenWiFi cloud SDK and AP NOS). It runs on low-cost, low-compute AP hardware from any supported ODM — no hardware vendor lock-in — with full WiFi 6/6E support and backward compatibility for WiFi 4/5. Deploy on AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, or your own data center, as SaaS or a licensed platform.
OpenX WiFi is the OpenWiFi-based access point firmware behind every Wifi-Soft deployment — Wifi-Soft doesn't manufacture access points. Instead, OpenX WiFi runs on a growing list of supported ODM hardware, so you pick the AP that fits your budget and site instead of being locked into one vendor's box, all managed centrally through OpenX Gateway or OpenX Cloud.
